A comment on The number of cities with municipal broadband has jumped over 4x in two years. Parent comment
If a city provides any service: water, sewer, broadband, from property taxes, its going to be really really hard for any company to compete with that.
So you can make the case for municipal broadband, but don't pretend that private ISPs are going to compete with it.
